Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “Where, oh where, can my pistol be? Liberals took it away from me I’ve gone to heaven, because I tried to be ‘good’ I didn’t have my pistol with me, so I had to leave- yeah- this world” ~ With sincerest apologies to J Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers in “Last Kiss,” from 1964.

Going armed, consistently:

Last weekend, my students were intensely interested in talking about carrying concealed. Some did already, but at least until last weekend, few did consistently. My job is, of course, to emphasize consistency.

I explained that going armed is a confounded nuisance! When suggesting various methods, I keep coming back to this point:

Some “adjustment” in dress, disposition, personal philosophy, knowledge base, skill base, and lifestyle in general, is going to be necessary, when you are determined to be one of us. The notion that you’re going to “fit a gun into” your current lifestyle, with no alterations, is naive and dangerous!
